Show Tell and Talk: ‘Active learning for large groups’ sharing innovation workshop

“Active learning engages students in the process of learning through activities and/or discussion in class, as opposed to passively listening to an expert. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work” (Freeman et al., 2014). Research also demonstrates that active learning can allow students to take agency in their own learning (Harris et al, 2020); can involve working in diverse groups on community and global issues (Pasquerella 2022) and can narrow achievement gaps benefiting all students (Inside Higher Ed, 2022).

This sharing innovation workshop (90 minutes) provides an opportunity to hear from a range of colleagues sharing their practice and for you to ask questions.

This 90 minute in-person workshop will take place in Room SM3, Ada Lovelace (Maths) Building, University Walk, Tankard’s Close, BS8 1TW from 12.30 pm until 2 pm

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available from 12.15 pm.
